~FILM~

Once you have selected a camera you need film. Just like cameras there are many different brands and quality levels. Some brands are better with color film and some are better with black and white. The speed also is an importnat factor when choosing a film. Some well known and well liked films are kodac (t-max, plus x, pan x) fugi and illford all are top of the line companies to buy from.

While most of the world buys there film at the suppermarket, if you are a serios photographer you will notice that that gets very expencive. Another way to go about this problem is to buy your fil in bulk and load it into carterages youself. this can save hundereds of dollars a year. If you are interested in trying this I found this sight that can help.*Buying in Bulk*

Darkrooms are where the magic of photography happens. They get the name darkroom because photo paper and film is sensitive to all light except infra red light. A darkroom is entirly free of while light and is only lighted by special infra red lights.
